What is algebra?

Algebra is a branch of mathematics that deals mostly with providing solutions to linear and quadratic equations. It was first developed by a Farsi (Persian) mathematician (also astronomer, astrologer, geographer, etc.) named El Khawarizmi (though I am not sure what the correct spelling is).
It's not a complex math, very basic, with very basic rules to follow. If you are to be taking it soon, try to avoid listening what the society says about math: that it's really hard. By believing this (or saying i am not good in math) it will create a mental blockage before you even start to solve a problem. Instead, try to find some one who loves math to break it down to easy understanding. The key in Algebra (and math in general) is to learn how to observe a problem, not necessarily to be smart as most people say.
Good luck :)

Algebra is a form of math that is (in easy terms) substituting unknown information with letters. Albegra is quite simple (easy for me to say I know I am a math person) but you have to slow down and find a person that can explain it to you in a way you understand. I had an algerbra teacher that taught it in a way that made no sense, once I got a tutor that could explain it to me better I got really good at it, and have gone all the way through calculus in both High school and college. I now love math and my kids are learning it wihtout trouble.
However the trick is finding the person that can really help you learn it.

No, you don't get Algebra in 'Garden and Landscape'.
